[b]So maybe you’re a little nervous about
meeting the parents and that’s ok. They say
anything worthwhile should make us a little
nervous.
However, it’s important that you
realize that your boyfriend likes you for who
you are and this is not a time to start being
fake or put on false pretenses. If you can stay
relaxed and not focus on yourself, you’ll have
a good time. Focus on making the first
meeting fun for everyone and think of it as
meeting potential lifelong friends. It’s not
about impressing them, it’s about being nice,
considerate and getting to know them so you
can understand your mate better. Here are a
few tips that will help you not offend them
when you do get together. Don’t worry, just
keep in mind that our actions are the
strongest way we communicate.


Put Your Phone Down

Remember, your boyfriend’s parents did not
grow up in the cell phone era. They will be
offended if you spend half of the night
texting on your phone.
Use some common
sense and realize that it’s best to leave your
phone alone for this.
Many people have a technology addiction and
seek comfort in their phone.
Cell phones
have become a temporary release from
society and it’s important that we let go of
this handicapping habit. You will enjoy your
time more if you remain fully present and
look them in the eye instead of looking on
Instagram.


Remember To Say Thank You

Plan on being grateful. You want to show
your appreciation if they buy you dinner or
cook you dinner. Be complimenting in a
genuine way and don’t make things up. You
want to show them you appreciate them
taking their time out of their day to meet you
and it’s nice to tell them that you were
excited to meet them too! Don’t be afraid to
express yourself and how happy you are that
you and your boyfriend are at this point in
your relationship.


Ask Your Boyfriend About Them

It’s important to find out if there is any
family drama you should know about. Ask
your boyfriend if there are subjects you
shouldn’t bring up so you know where any
touchy areas are. If his parents are extremely
religious or political, this is something you
should know. This will just help you from
blurting out something innocently that might
touch upon a sore spot. If they have different
life views than you and your boyfriend, that
will be something that you should be
sensitive to.


Don’t Be Late

Be sure to leave extra time for any last
minute things that might come up so you’re
not rushing at the last minute. Don’t show
up late because it shows that you don’t really
care that much. Make sure you know how to
get there and you leave enough time for
traffic. Showing consideration by being on
time is a good way to make a nice
impression. It shows you’re responsible and
can follow through with your word. It also
shows you respect their time as well.


Dress Appropriately

Make sure you choose your clothing
tastefully. Don’t wear something you feel
uncomfortable in but make sure you look
classy. Your clothes should be clean. Your
hair should be neat and your fingernails
should be clean. Put in a little extra effort to
make sure you are put together so they see
that you care about yourself. When a parent
sees that you take pride in yourself they are
more likely to trust you with their son. If you
show up looking sloppy, it indicates that your
life is disheveled and they might be less
inclined to support the relationship[/b]
